Congrats Pacers!
1st playoffs team this season with a road win. Also the first low seed to win (6)
Unfortunately, for Milwaukee. First playoff team with a home loss this season and the highest seed (3).

The first home team loss of these playoffs and does it surprise that it's the Bucks? They seemed most ripe for it even though the Knicks were probably the most in jeapordy of it and barely survived.

Nesmith defense in this game has been sensational. Indy is clearly the much better team than the Bucks w/o Giannis. Mil is fortunate to be at 1-1; Indy missed a golden opportunity to be up 2-0 cause I assume Giannis will come back shortly.

When it comes to letting a team believe they are better it does. Every game the Bucks defense will get worse.
Not if Giannis comes back.

Good poise from the Pacers and on both ends too (yes offense is explosive but lots of good defensive stands there late in the 2nd half)
Our bench has been great throughout the season. Their numbers will be lower in the playoffs overall due to the shorter rotation but I have no worries when they're in the game. They are reliable.

That sounds dangerous but it's his life.

It takes the 13th (Kind of ironic) NBA Playoff Game for a Road Team to get a win.

It's a little scary that Dame is really their offense right now. Brook started the game off hot, but after that first quarter, he cooled all the way off and Portis was MIA all game. In game 1, he was great. With Giannis in street clothes, they need produce buckets in every game. Beasley also kind of didn't do anything on offense either.

Hey no stupid comments in this game anyway, for either team.
Game 1 was riddled with "Bucks are better without Giannis" .... "Pacers gonna get swept, they blow" .....
Many less overreactions and crazy stuff this game.

Giving up 125 to Indy when Hali scores 12 is pretty bad. Silver lining for Milwaukee I guess is that he doesn't seem to be regaining any of his early-season form, and it's hard to see this happening again.

Yep, lots of overreactions
Many of us cooler heads tho. knew, Indy was very jittery, young team. They settled down in the 4th qrtr of Game 1.
Coach Carlisle is no dummy either.

Dame got his tonite, but that's to be expected.
Professional shooter, scorer. Win or lose.

I have no idea if he'll be back or not However, the average time missed with a calf strain in the NBA is 17 days and the next game will be 17 days since he last played.
